KICK BACK & UNWIND ON THE UNSPOILT BEACHES OF THE TRANSKEI COASTLINE AT NQABARA LODGE

Located a mere 3.5 hours north of East London and 8,5 hours from Durban, Nqabara Eco River Lodge is a growing tourist attraction that overlooks the beautiful Nqabara River mouth. The lodge represents a long-held dream of the Nqabara Tourism Trust and Community.

Situated on the unspoilt Wild Coast near Dwesa, visitors to Nqabara can kick back and unwind on 10km of unspoilt beaches. The more adventurous can run, cycle or fish on this pristine coastline with its adjacent indigenous forests. All travellers are welcome – from backpackers and volunteers, corporate guests, to small gatherings or conferences.

Swim in the clear Indian Ocean or in the pools of the Nqabara River as it flows through the mangrove trees. Take a boat up the winding river to the call of the fish eagles and enjoy unsurpassed bird watching. Fishing on the river or in the ocean is world-class.

As a low-impact eco-lodge, the entire place is run on solar technology and water is harvested and stored in tanks. 

The Nqabara area is pristine, one of the few places along the Wild Coast that has not been developed. It is designated “environmentally sensitive” and the Nqabara community proudly treasure this status. The people of the area are determined to preserve the beauty and natural heritage that they know is their greatest asset.

Nqabara Eco River Lodge is the perfect fishing and/or family holiday destination, a getaway for the leisure tourist, the volunteer traveller, a team-building experience, or for conferencing with a difference. Nqabara Eco River Lodge welcomes those wanting a quiet and beautiful “away-from-the-crowds-and-noise experience”.

Designed as a low-impact facility, Nqabara Eco River Lodge is fully off-the-grid. It harvests water from the heavens and innovative technology is used throughout the lodge to ensure that its environmental footprint is as small as possible.
